SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Violin
Memory®, Inc., (NYSE:VMEM), a leading provider of award-winning
all-flash storage arrays and appliances delivering application solutions
for the enterprise, today announced the worldwide availability of its
Oracle Performance Analysis Service (O-PAS™). This innovative and unique
tool helps IT professionals remove the complexity of reporting,
analyzing and decision-making around Oracle databases to help
dramatically lower the costs of their Oracle deployments while
increasing Oracle database and associated application performance.

“We have seen first-hand where poor database and application performance
has cost our enterprise customers millions of dollars in lost revenue,
extra IT and database manpower expenses, and unacceptable operational
and capital expenses”

At no cost to the end user or the reseller, the Violin O-PAS identifies
core performance bottlenecks in end users’ Oracle environments and
determines the suitability of flash-based storage solutions to
substantially increase IOPS, reduce latency, and lower overall costs. In
order to achieve this, the tool generates comprehensive reports that
identify areas in Oracle implementations where massive performance
improvements can be gained by using all-flash arrays and the associated
cost savings that engenders.

Violin O-PAS reports offer accurate insights and measurements that help
database administrators, application owners, IT executives, and
resellers make informed decisions and select the right solution to
achieve significant performance improvements and cost savings. Some of
the report insights include:

CPU vs. I/O wait time: if the time spent waiting on I/O is higher than
the time spent working on the CPU, the database may be impacted by the
performance of the storage system, leading to under-utilized CPUs and
excessive CPU costs.

Time lost waiting on I/O: an indication of how much time is wasted
waiting for I/O calls to complete during busy periods. This value
directly translates into lost productivity.

“We have seen first-hand where poor database and application performance
has cost our enterprise customers millions of dollars in lost revenue,
extra IT and database manpower expenses, and unacceptable operational
and capital expenses,” said Eric Herzog, CMO and SVP of Alliances at
Violin Memory. “With the worldwide availability of O-PAS, end users and
resellers will greatly benefit from the ability to quickly identify
opportunities for significant improvements in cost, performance, and
application delivery.”
